Why it matters: The margin extends a run in which Goff became the second player in NFL history to record 12 touchdowns and zero interceptions through five games. Stroud's seventh score without a turnover moves him into sole possession of second place ahead of Smith on the season ball-security leaderboard.

What to watch: Goff, Stroud, and Smith put their active zero-interception streaks on the line as Week 6 regular-season play continues.
